depends on the beginner, it was described by someone who did it after us (on the basis of the TR) as "rockaineering"

The easy descent of the west face is tricky for people who are experienced in the less known regions and solo 5.6 & 5.7 with ease... while there is, apparently, a 4th class way down we didn't find it and rapped in a couple of spots, especially the bottom.

So how does one descend? Might this be an appropriate route for a beginner to follow??
